After 'some work' - this is not the correct Alice in Abercarn: and googling around found various peoples requests/research.

This is the marriage on Freebdm

Alice Elizabeth PHILLIPS married James PURNELL - 1907 - Thornbury District
Alice Elizabeth PHILLIPS born - 1880 Thornbury District (which ties up with Alice & James birth/death) ***

so doesn't appear be the Forest of Dean - as they are both from Olveston (still there 1911 with two young children)

This however, is the Alice on the 1911 census return, who's father was from the Forest of Dean
